British group SSC toppled IBM from the leading three in TOP 2022, a ranking of the 170 largest French Digital Services (ESN) and Engineering and Technology Consulting (ICT) companies by revenue.
The list is compiled by Numeum and KPMG shows SCC outdoing several other giants such as Atos, which placed third, Sopra Steria (fourth), Accenture (fifth), IBM (sixth), Econocom (seventh) and Computacenter (thirteenth).
Capgemini took the top spot in 2022’s rankings with revenues of €3.8 billion.
The group attributed its ranking to the dozens of IT contracts SCC holds in the French public sector in the last 12 months.
Rigby Group co-chief executive officer, Steve Rigby said:”To rank higher than some of the biggest and most established SSIs and global brand names such as IBM positions SCC among the global elite.
“Over the past 12 months we have made significant, positive changes to our businesses in the UK and France, including welcome additions to our leadership teams and a new set of values to better reflect our culture and family values.
“All of this has contributed to commercial growth and our achievement in becoming the second largest IT services company in France.”
SSC was founded by Sir Peter Rigby in 1975 and has operations in the UK, France and Spain, and global service centres in Romania and Vietnam.
It is the technology arm of Rigby Group, the £3.36 billion multinational holdings company for a portfolio of privately-owned businesses.
